Hey all,

Firstly, I wanted to say thank you for SB - it has been something I have used and have also donated to.

I recently did a clean install of my PC (Vaio bloatware be gone!) and one of the anomalies that has surfaced is my up to date version of Teatimer is gutsing itself on memory on start up (between 80-100MB for about 5 minutes), somewhat defeating the purpose of my clean install (to make vista run quicker).

Is there something I have configured incorrectly? I am also running Comodo Internet Security and Comodo Safesurf (if that information helps)

Your help would be appreciated!

PS. A bit of a segway - but to clarify a different point. The hosts file currently lists predominantly unknown websites against the IP:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
# Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy
127.0.0.1 www.007guard.com

This list below is quite extensive and I have no idea what most of them are...

Am i correct to assume that this is designed by SB as a security measure or is my computer exposed to these websites?

Again - kindest regards!

Jorn

Hello,

By the immunization of Spybot - Search & Destroy the baddies are blocked.
That means that the sites where the baddies come from are added to the restricted zones in order to block them.

Best regards
